Be CarefulA Poem by Nikki RaeThis is a true poem based on sequences of events in my life. I would really appreciate feedback on my poetry since I'm not too good at it.Trust Don’t just hand it out like pieces of a Hershey's chocolate bar No one is trustworthy Don’t give just anyone your trust Secrets Deep information Anything You must make people work hard for your trust Build walls Just like around a castle If you don’t work hard to do this, anyone can just get in and stab you while you aren't looking People you think you can trust aren't always going to be trustful Best friends for 8 years Nope They tell people they just met your deepest secrets Wouldn't you expect them to tell you if someone said something bad about you? You would be let down if your answer was yes They won't tell you anything Not even best friends Don't give just anyone your thoughts The boy you like will find out that you like him about .3 seconds after you tell them After he knows he doesn't look at you the same Things get weird between the two of you But if things do work out between the two of you Not even him Especially him Don't give just anyone a piece of your heart Breaking girls’ hearts is a hobby for him Not even your parents Don't tell just anyone about the problems you have Not even your parents will understand You tell them you have bad anxiety They think you are lying They knew they should have sent you to therapy when you were younger for your “lying problems” Just because you can't relate doesn't mean I’m making things up Those walls that you are planning on building Don't build them out of dirt Build them out of steel What is the point of building walls if they can be so easily taken down?
